American journalists might find Qian Dong a walking oxymoron: Dong is a Chinese reporter who endorses government censorship.

Despite the many years I've spent living and working in China, I've never heard a compelling, thoughtful justification for state-sponsored media censorship from a Chinese national. I gather from this article that Qian Dong wasn't able to either. A "walking oxymoron" indeed...

I agree, great phrase! :)

US might be better than China in the freedom of reporting and discussion. But when it is government related, such as recent reports on CIA, look at the Hill and White House have done. Criticizing CNN?
